"Oh there are a few more reasons than that to hate Lin/Freespire."

Hmm. Right, so quoting to your own website as a reason to hate something is any more valid than me producing a piece of paper on which I've written "it is good" as proof that it is good.

Did you even bother reading it? The whole point of it, was that a lot of people were bashing Freespire/Linspire without any current knowledge of the OS, and yet even when they were right the Freespire/Linspire user, such as yourself, refused to admit any faults in the OS. This is why I wasted a whole day of my time to load this POS on my box and actually get a current status of it.

Sure did. Saw nothing more than the sour stuff thats pushed around on OSNews like cold cabbage on a plate.

"yet even when they were right the Freespire/Linspire user, such as yourself, refused to admit any faults in the OS"

Actually I don't use Linspire/Freespire. I have tried it a few times (as I tend to try all the new distros/releases) but thats it. What I saw was a very user friendly system and that seems to really kill some people.

I have no vested opinion or interest here. I just think that it's rather pathetic that some people will rail against Linspire just... coz.
